The role

Active night shifts and sleepovers in a modern Truganina home

Join our overnight care team in Truganina supporting four adult residents with scheduled overnight checks, medication assistance, and morning wake routines.

This part-time role offers predictable overnight rotations (both active night and sleepover shifts) with dedicated handover times and full penalty rates.

What the shift looks like

  • Evening wind-down routines, personal care and bedtime settling with participants.

  • Scheduled overnight welfare checks, repositioning support, and monitoring safety.

  • Medication management and assistance during night-time hours as required.

  • Early morning wake routine, breakfast assistance, and thorough verbal handover to the day team.

  • Shift logging and incident documentation on the supplied device before shift end.

What you will bring

  • Certificate III in Individual Support, Disability, or equivalent experience.

  • NDIS Worker Screening clearance and current national police check.

  • Current First Aid (HLTAID011) and CPR certifications.

  • A valid driver licence, comprehensive car insurance and reliable transport.

  • Calm temperament and confidence in working independently during quiet night hours.

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with epilepsy management, midazolam administration, or seizure protocols.

  • Experience with manual handling and ceiling hoists.

  • Familiarity with Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies.

Overnight shifts can feel isolated at other agencies, but here on-call picks up on the second ring and you always get a detailed verbal handover.
